Adam Smith makes his house debut at Opéra National de Paris singing Cavaradossi in Puccini’s Tosca. Following his 2022 performances with English National Opera, The Guardian wrote, “Smith meanwhile makes a tremendous Cavaradossi, his arias gloriously phrased, his way with words often immaculate, and his high notes thrillingly sustained…”

Mr. Smith opens his 2025/26 season with performances as Radamès in Verdi’s Aida at Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center. The tenor debuted the role last season in Rouen, where Res Musica commented, “tenor Adam Smith is no less convincing in the role of Radamès, which he assumes with bravery, courage and a certain dose of tenderness, beginning in Act I with a magnificent "  Celeste Aïda ", showing off his solar timbre with perfectly held piercing high notes.”
